In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). This time around, we head back to January 1999, for the start of Batman’s historic “No Man’s Land” saga. Obviously, the idea of a shared universe has been a significant part of the world of superhero comes all the way back to the 1940s, when MLJ comics had the first superhero crossover between the Shield and the Wizard, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that the shared universe concept became heavily embraced by Marvel Comics, and thus, due to its popularity, picked up by pretty much every other comic book company, to the point where DC had a major crossover event designed to make it easier for it to have a shared universe (by narrowing its multiple alternate Earths into one shared Earth).However, even with all of these novel approaches, it couldn’t match the striking changes that the Batman titles underwent with its year-long event, “No Man’s Land,” that began, of course, in January 1999.
